Beautiful Romanesque and Gothic church, nicely restored, on the banks of the river where it is very pleasant to walk.

Very beautiful church with an idyllic setting for a picnic, paved square with markets for access to the water table...

A place steeped in history with beautiful architecture. A beautiful river with ducks, geese and at night, bats. It's calm and relaxing. Very pleasant.

Manarola

Manarola is a small town, a frazione of the comune of Riomaggiore. It is the second-smallest of the famous Cinque Terre towns frequented by tourists, with a population of 353.

Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name 'Manarola' is probably a dialectical evolution of the Latin, 'magna rota'. In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to 'magna roea' which means 'large wheel', in reference to the mill wheel in the town.

Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. The local wine, called Sciacchetrà, is especially renowned; references from Roman writings mention the high quality of the wine produced in the region.
